I am 27 years old and an Italian native speaker. I hold an Italian BA degree in 'Western and Eastern Languages and Cultures (English and Mandarin)' - my dissertation being a translation proposal from English into Italian of part of the novel 'Absolute Beginners' by Colin MacInnes (1959). I am currently living in Manchester, UK, and at my final year of a MA degree in 'TESOL' ('Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages'). I have been studying English language and literature since the age of 7, French language and literature since the age of 11, Latin since the age of 14 and Mandarin language and Chinese literature since the age of 21.
The job of translating from a language into another has always been fascinating and somewhat fun to me - in school I used to get the highest grades in all languages with the minimum effort and I could spend hours translating without getting tired.
To be honest, I do not really have any previous professional experience in this field, but I am taking the first steps into this absorbing and interesting activity which I would really like one day to earn my living from. I love writing (mainly in Italian and English) and, although I have had writing jobs in the past, my real interest is that of being able to connect two different cultures by means of the linguistic art. I hope this platform will give me the opportunity to try and make this dream of mine come true.
Thanks for reading me.
